“I booked a 4 day trip with Daniel . He picked me up early as I requested. He's a very sociable. And extremely interesting and intelligent guy .he knows so much about the history of mexico. If I has a question he had an answer . My head is spilling with new knowledge. It was good to eat and socialise with him when not driving or doing trips as he's good company. We altered my tour slightly and stayed an extra night in Guanajuato instead of Leon . I was thrilled by this as it was the place I wanted to visit the most . I wasn't disappointed. He suggested…”

Review of the San Miguel de Allende day trip from Mexico City, with transport, guide quality, timing, price, and practical booking advice.
“While the city of San Miguel de Allende is beautiful, this tour was abominable and soured the experience. We were rebooked to this tour bc a previous tour group cancelled due to COVID. In rebooking, we specifically asked for an English-speaking tour guide. What we got instead was a man that texted into his phone, which then translated into English, and that was just at the start of the trip. When asked if we at least had a tour guide to see the city and churches, at least, he emphatically nodded and said “yes”. When we got to the city, there was no tour guide prepared. It took him an…”

When I contacted the company, they told me that my booking was from Mexico City to San Miguel de Allende (which was factually incorrect). They told me they could not change the reservation and would not let me cancel. I booked another company. In the morning they sent a driver anyway, despite me telling them several times that they had already told me that my trip was canceled and that I had booked with another company. US$512 in I did not even avail their service and they did not even give me…”
Tour Mexico’s colonial heart from Mexico City to San Miguel, Guanajuato, Zacatecas and Guadalajara with hotels, breakfasts and guides included.
“Overall, this tour was quite nice due to the wonderful ground it covered. With the lack of tourists due to covid, my wife and I had a single guide in their own car take us to to all the cities. No tourist bus or group pressures. This was great. However, there were a couple of hitches. First, our guide's English was difficult to understand a lot of the time. We also had an incident where we arrived in mid afternoon in Zacatecas after a 4 1/2 hour drive from Guanajuato. Before entering the historic part of the city, we were delivered to a silver mine on the outskirts for a…”

“Our tour began with a stroll around the Coyoacan district visiting the coyote fountain, historic church and Sunday art market. We then visited the Frida Kahlo Casa Azul Museum filled with her artwork and belongings. We learned about her extraordinary life and how she has influenced Mexican culture today. Our final stop was the unique Xochimilco canals where our guide Jose treated us to an unscheduled drive through the plant market and we then boarded our own private boat for a ride through the canals, listening to floating Mariachi bands and seeing locals celebrating on the other boats.”

“Our driver Edgar was excellent and the car (Chevy Suburban) was very comfortable for 4 people plus driver. My one complaint - when I booked the transport (weeks in advance) I was given a confirmation for transport on my chosen day but not a time. I tried several times (through Viator and their local partner) but could not get an acceptable response for a 9am pickup time. I started looking at alternative providers and had decided to cancel Viator if I did not get a time confirmation about 1-2 days before my requested time. Then a little less than 48 hours before my requested time I received confirmation of the…”
